This was fun. Seriously. I'm sorry if I look hot and overly pink. I was definitely warm when I took the pictures this morning. Also, my hair is looking shabby! I've been using my Urban Decay Vice 2 palette quite a bit lately. I like it! There are a few colors I still haven't touched yet, but overall I am having a good time with that palette.
This particular base mix did well until about hour nine, then it turned into total chaos on and around my nose. It probably didn't help that I was on fire super duper hot right about then! I still love the coverage of the Americana concentrate but I'm not sure I like how finicky it is. Or maybe I'm expecting too much from my flawless full coverage base to last past eight or nine hours. I've always had trouble with full coverage foundations.
I have some older looks from last week that I still need to post! Hopefully I can do that soon. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Variety...Spice
Seriously? So many vacuum cleaners in the background of my pictures?! I am a dork. This is like the vacuum cleaner(s) FOTD.
What you are seeing on my eye here is the orange from the Illamasqua Paranormal palette, topped with Tarte Charmer (True Blood), Tarte The Light (TB) on the inner corner, UD Deep End in the crease, Stila Smudge Stick Lionfish e/l pencil, Nars Barrow Street e/l pencil (waterline) and some dark brown e/s I absolutely cannot remember on the outer corner!
On my face, I'm wearing Dr. Jart + Renewalist BB Cream, Tarte AC Blushing Bride, and Stila After Glow Vivid Violet lip color.
This eye is with Tarina Tarantino's eyeshadow duo Elektron/Amber, UD Lucky e/l pencil, and Stila Kitten glitter liner (I can't remember what is under that - might just be Lucky again).
For the rest, I'm wearing Koh Gen Do Aqua PK-0, Nars Boys Don't Cry, Guerlain Terracotta Sun in the City, and Tarte's AC lipstick in Timeless (summer LE).
Say "hello" to Stila Terracotta! Haaaaaay. I was in the mood for red eyeshadow last Friday.
I used Stila Terrocotta, of course, Sephora Moonshadow in White Gold (from the "In the Night" palette) on the inner corner and also patted over the center of the lid, and UD Woodstock pencil on the lowers with Terracotta smudged in. My eyeshadow creased all not good and funny-like that day, which started the process of my breaking up with the CK One eye base. Boo! Hiss! So sad! I really liked the brightening it provided.
For the rest of my face, I wore Guerlain Lingerie de Peau cream compact in Beige Pale 01, Tarte AC Peaceful + Too Faced Smurf Illuminating Powder, and Inglot Sleeks lip gloss in 65 (blotted).
What's wrong with creepy gray lip gloss, you ask? "Why, nothing," I say! I like it!
Truth be told, I liked it even more over top of Hourglass' Flush lip stain, which sadly I do not have any pictures of. This is Armani Flash Lacquer 701 all by its creepy gray-green-blue self.
And for the eyes: I used UD Perversion e/l pencil with Blackout e/s smudged over top, then UD Evidence e/s on the lid, Deep End into the crease, Vanilla for the inner corner, Stila Smudge Stick in Lionfish on the lowers with UD Deeper smudged in, Sephora Flashy e/l Flashy Brown for the waterline, and the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Highlight 01 on my brow bone as well as for my cheek highlight! So, the shadows were pretty much all from the UD 15th Anniversary palette.
On my face, I'm wearing Dr. Brandt Matte BB Cream in Light-Medium (which looked too dark on its own) topped with Dolce & Gabanna The Foundation Perfect Finish Powder Foundation Ivory 50. I used Dior Aurora 01 bronzer as a light contour and Nars Boys Don't Cry for my blush.
I like this last one a lot. Go me! Let me know what you think of all this nonsense. :)

My hair looks really goofy here and my brows need to be trimmed. But let's talk about MAKEUP. The Tokidoki eyeshadows I used were from the Robbery palette and they were all contained in the same mini palette (alongside a gorgeous lime color and peachy glitter blush). I was and am a huge fan of Tokidoki makeup! Sure, some of the items in the line were misses, but overall I really enjoyed it.
I am loving Lancome Evermore Lilac. It's got gorgeous gold glitter and is all sorts of iridescent shimmery cool. I applied it with my fingers here. Easy!
The new Urban Decay eyeliners are hawt. It's true. I'm going to have a ton of fun playing with and wearing them!
As soon as I put on this lip color I got freaked out about it. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I knew the shimmer was going to end up kind of all over my face. I took it right off. I ended up wearing Dior Lip Glow part of the day and then Chanel Glossimer in Crushed Cherry later on. I'll have pictures of that one, soon, I hope! It's really nice.
Bryn, if you are reading, one day I do hope to have a step-by-step sort of tutorial for you! I haven't forgotten! I'm just lazy, I fear.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ugly-Pretty
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Guerlain's Coup de Foudre eyeshadow palette. I bought it on a whim - no doubt swayed by its popularity on the web (I'm looking at you, MUA MUB). I will say that while I was very unsure about it when I wore this on Friday, it's grown on me since. I'm rather fond of it right at this moment!
Things I am wearing here: Koh Gen Do Aqua PK-0, Nars Light Reflecting Powder Loose, Illamasqua Lover blush, Dior Addict Lip Balm Crystal Coral, Hourglass Arch Brow Pencil Soft Brunette, Guerlain Maxi Lash mascara....and some other stuff. For the eyes, I started with Nars eye primer, then lined uppers and lowers with UD Uzi pencil. I smudged the dark gray shadow into it. Then I blended the olive shadow onto my lids and a little into the creases. Next, I blended the mint shade into my inner crease area. The coral color is, of course, above my mid-outer crease. I also used a tiny bit of the dark gray on the outer corner of my lids. YSL black cream liner lined both waterlines. And while I used Guerlain's Maxi Lash on my upper lashes, I used Maybelline's water-resistant Clump Crusher for my lower lashes. It's annoying that I have to use very specific mascaras on my lowers - they just love to smudge, when given the chance!
The pigmentation on the Coup de Foudre eyeshadows leaves something to be desired. At least, with the dark gray and olive I felt I really had to pack it on to get the color I wanted (even the coral, if I'm honest with myself). Perhaps they are not meant to be worn so opaquely. Perhaps I am nit-picking. In any case, it was worth the effort and not too much trouble. I just figure for that amount of money I should get pigment galore. :)
I'll leave you with that. Please feel free to ask any questions! Thanks so much for stopping by!

End of the Line
If you are wondering why the cheesy title for this post, it's because I am not intending to do any more winged or graphic liner looks for a little while! I need a break. Let's call this the culmination of a somewhat stressful week of special liner looks. Yeah, I know - I'm being a big baby. :)
I really love how the close up picture below turned out. Except for the angry red bit near the base of my inner brow (you probably didn't notice it until now anyway, huh?), it's all looking much cooler than I could have hoped for! Yeah, I know the random dot is not perfectly round, but it was the best I could do with my smushed-tipped Stila felt pen (smushed from me using it for tight lining every day).
My blush looked really strong in real life, but photographed rather nicely. Pardon my brows, please and thank you! I need to trim them and I've also been playing with a different brow pencil.
I'm including the close up of my left eye for learning purposes. It amazes me how much I learn every time I try winged liner and then carefully examine the close ups afterward! The shape was a little too wide at the outer end of my lid, up top as it swooped into the wing portion. Oops. The crazy thing about that is that I truly believe my left eye wing turns out better when I'm doing it, but inevitably find out differently when editing my pictures! I've also clearly missed a bit or two on my tight lining here.
I'm smiling! That's because it's before I went to work in retail on Black Friday. I definitely can promise you that I was not smiling after seven hours of work. A very, very long seven hours. That kind of exhaustion is extra special and reserved only for that one stinking day of the year. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Gold Glitter Brows
I tried gold glitter brows with my Urban Decay Baked glitter eyeliner. It was a huge hassle to paint it on using the tiny brush that it comes with. I know I could remove the stopper, but I'm always reluctant to, for some unknown reason (I'm probably loathe to encrust a brush of mine with glitter gel).
The glitter looks chunky-not-so-lovely in these super close up pictures. In the other pictures you can't really even tell it's there! Perhaps a fail. No harm done, though. Can I just say how stunningly gorgeous L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Gold Imperial is?! That's the gold over my entire lid, that you see more on the inner half. I absolutely love it.
I really like the Tarte "Emerald" skinny pencil liner, too, that I used on the lower lash line. I wish I had smudged some shadow into it, though, to intensify and solidify the color.
